We currently offer three online courses:

  • Spectrum Trauma-Informed Yoga – Professional Track

  • Spectrum Yoga for ADHD – Professional Track

These are professional training programs, not public yoga classes.

They are designed to teach:

No.

You do not need to personally identify as neurodivergent or trauma-affected to take these courses.
